Under Appreciated

Well all give to others that we care
And for most we rather not receive
We are content as long as they are happy
But at times that doesn't apply

There are certain people
That gives so much but have
Never even seen happiness from
What they give to the one person they care

Though the person says they
Don't want to hear a "thank you"
Deep down they do
And at times people take advantage of that

They know I've said "don't mention it"
But it doesn't mean you have to listen to me
It would be comforting to hear it from time to time
And know you mean it from your heart

You know I'll always care and love you
Yet you fail to see all the good I've done for you
Soon enough I'll just be like many other lovers
I'll leave you with a broken heart

Yet I'm truly the one whose broken hearted...
You failed to see what you have in front of you
And now there's nothing left between the two of us
I've strive to make you smile and happy

Yet all of my efforts have gone in vain
Because you never did say those words
I've been dying to hear:
"Thank You"

That's was all I ever asked and nothing more
I've treated you like my girlfriend
Yet I was never your boyfriend
Not once and never will I be yours...

My heart is forever yours
Whether you know it or not
And I know I will never have a place in your heart,
For you'll never think of me like that

So I'll be the nice guy
That you knew who always been there
But will never be appreciated for
Anything I have done for you
